I think you mean Krzysztof Oledzki (ole@ans.pl)

From: Krzysztof Oledzki (ole@ans.pl)
Subject: ANNOUNCE - 2.4.x ide backport for 2.2.21pre2 kernel 

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=ANNOUNCE+-+2.4.x+ide+backport+for&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&selm=linux.kernel.Pine.LNX.4.33.0201291654480.17318-100000%40dark.pcgames.pl&rnum=1


BTW: I've heard rumours that some older ide chipsets support 48-bit
addressing with a bios upgrade. HPT370 and Via 686B have been mentioned.

Highpoint windows driver readme:

  v2.1  11/15/2001
          * Add 48bit LBA (Big Drive) support

But I'm not sure whether this means HPT370 or 372 only.

Is this possible and will it be possible to support that functionality in
Linux?
